Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) revealed Friday that she will not vote in favor of calling witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump after a week’s worth of speculation about whether she would be a key swing vote.

In a statement, Murkowski explained that House Democrats “chose to send articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawed. She ”carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents,” but ultimately chose against voting for them.
